Very nice top-side view and angle of the bird. Catchlight very crucial. A little sharpening might make it better.

[Dumay de Boulle]

Great top view and lovely flight pose...Detail looks good and the very noticeable...Nice one Nico!

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Lovely top view Nico, like the detail in the whites and a good BG TFS

Nico:

Very interesting bird, nice exposure, dorsal view, head angle.

Like the green tinge to the blacks. Did you have to bring up the saturation at all to get it to show so well?

The framing seems a bit tight top and bottom to me.

Cheers

Randy, i have only lifted the shadows on the black feathers i was surprise to see that the green tinge was coming through while i lifted the shadows

[Daniel Cadieux]

I too find the comp a bit tight, but apart from that this looks like a very well executed image. Well done!

[Arthur Morris]

A lovely dorsal view. Yes to a bit more room all around.

[James Salywoda]

WOW! Awesome bird and shot Nico tack sharp beautifully captured.

[Dudley Watson]

Lovely detail and eye contact VWD Nico

[arash_hazeghi]

very cool, nice details and exposure!

[Stu Bowie]

An unusual visitor at Mankwe Nico, and you have captured a good flying posture. Good colours, and pops nicely from the BG.

[Pieter de Waal]

Hi Nico , so nice to get this guy from the top with full wing spread and fanned tail. I too like the irridescence on the wings and agree with more space. Nicely captured.

[Chris Kotze]

Excellent flight angle captured, super detail and colours. Well done getting this one Nico
